Julia Holliday
Educator
East Lansing,MI
Summary
Hello, my name is Julia Holliday. I was born and raised in Croswell, Michigan, a little town in the thumb, where not much is happening. The thumb is very rural, lacking in color and sometimes social decency, but friendly nonetheless, and only 7 minutes from Lake Huron!
I decided on my major after contemplating Education or Forensics but decided I wanted a happier, more positive work environment, which Ms. Holliday does not regret. I am a Native American, yoga-loving, trumpet-playing, Aries woman who loves to paint and do any sort of art craft.
